Since the controversy and acclaim that surrounded the publication
of Disgrace (1999), the awarding of the Nobel Prize for literature
and the publication of Elizabeth Costello: Eight Lessons (both in
2003), J. M. Coetzee's status has begun to steadily rise to the
point where he has now outgrown the specialized domain of South
African literature. Today he is recognized more simply as one of
the most important writers in the English language from the late
20th and early 21st century. Coetzee's productivity and invention
has not slowed with old age. The Childhood of Jesus, published in
2013, like Elizabeth Costello, was met with a puzzled reception, as
critics struggled to come to terms with its odd setting and
structure, its seemingly flat tone, and the strange affectless
interactions of its characters. Most puzzling was the central
character, David, linked by the title to an idea of Jesus. J.M.
Coetzee's The Childhood of Jesus: The Ethics of Ideas and Things is
at the forefront of an exciting process of critical engagement with
this novel, which has begun to uncover its rich dialogue with
philosophy, theology, mathematics, politics, and questions of
meaning.
